John Geiger was born in Germany at the height of the
Bauhaus. With the world soon at war, his family emigrated to
Canada. He was only 14. After studying to become a
master cabinetmaker in Toronto, he set up his workshop and
in 1964 established the company that would become Geiger.
His mastery of craft was matched by his integrity in business.
Keeping his promise to a client meant everything to him.
To complement the shop’s custom work, Geiger began Casegoods Lounge
developing standard lines of office furnishings, which
reflected the influence of German modernism: an absence of
ornamentation, a willingness to embrace mass production
methods, and a harmonic balance of form and function.
